1. Scorch Atlas (destroyed) by Blake Butler
2 years ago
Scorch Atlas is a new book by Blake Butler. Every copy of ordered before the release date 9/9/09 will come hand-destroyed by Blake Butler and the featherproof crew. We will put this book through apocalyptic storms! Will you put your mind through the same?

A novel of 14 interlocking stories set in ruined American locales where birds speak gibberish, the sky rains gravel, and millions starve, disappear or grow coats of mold. In 'The Disappeared,' a father is arrested for missing free throws, leaving his son to search alone for his lost mother. In 'The Ruined Child,' a boy swells to fill his parents' ransacked attic. Rendered in a variety of narrative forms, from a psychedelic fable to a skewed insurance claim questionnaire, Blake Butler's full-length fiction debut paints a gorgeously grotesque version of America, bringing to mind both Kelly Link and William Gass, yet turned with Butler's own eye for the apocalyptic and bizarre.
